It is the festival time for the Argentine fans as their king Lionel Messi has finally got his first knockout goal at the World Cup against Australia in the round of 16 matchup. The game was really shaping up to be one hell of an encounter with both teams looking to get their first goal but then came the magic man to provide the goods for his team.

Australia was keeping the danger man away from scoring and from their penalty box for the first 35 mins but couldn’t stop him from putting his first shot of the match past Matthew Ryan as he marked his 1000th game with a glittering touch of brilliance. The fans went mad after Argentina took the lead which will give them a great advantage going into the second half.

If Argentina manages to win the match they will have to face the Netherlands in the quarter-finals of the 2022 FIFA World Cup which has always lived up in the past tournaments. Argentina has a great record against the Dutch boys and will also look to go as far as possible and probably take the trophy back home after 32 long years.
